List of recruitment agencies and workforce providers

Frequently asked questions
Where can employers verify Saudi recruitment rules?
Start with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development and Qiwa. A company website or directory mention is not a substitute for current official verification.
Why are agencies grouped by service type?
Permanent recruitment, manpower supply, executive search, IT recruitment, engineering staffing and EOR solve different problems. Grouping prevents an employer from comparing unlike proposals.
Is every provider in this directory recommended by AL AHAD GROUP?
No. The directory is a research starting point using public official sources. Employers must conduct their own legal, operational and commercial due diligence.
How often should the list be checked?
Check before every procurement decision. Branches, service lines, licensing and contact channels can change after the review date.
Discuss a Saudi recruitment requirement
Send the role titles, quantities, city, experience level, employment model, target joining date and any mandatory licence, language or trade-test requirement. AL AHAD GROUP will review the brief and identify the next information needed.
